This stunning doll-like monkey is an infant Dusky Langur. We see babies fairly often, but we seldom get a nice photo of them. This wonderful shot was taken by Mr. Rhys Clarke with his 600 mm zoom lens while sitting in a kayak!

This is a female Great Hornbill. She has a white eye (red ring) and she has a solid yellow cask (above her bill). The male has a red eye and a black mark on the front of his cask. The Great Hornbill is one of the most common birds in Khao Sok National Park. We see them every time we go there. Often, we see them while we're at the floating bungalows.

Wilderness Jungle Survival Trekking and Training

As we move further and further away from nature, it seems like a lot of us are interested in finding out if we could actually go backwards and live off of the land... it seems like the latest buzz is doing it with as little as possible, be that in the form of getting lost (survival) or minimalist camping (bushcraft).

You can experience the joy of being able to survive with minimal gear while enjoying one of our survival training courses. Khao Sok is the best place for this combination. Phang Nga Province offers old growth jungle and it's logistically much easier than Khao Sok.

A big part of the trip is jungle trekking. It’s so beautiful here that you’ll want to hike around anyway. During your trekking adventures you’ll learn a lot about the abundant wild edible plants in southern Thailand.
